New seats are 200% better than original design so another reason to go newer,

One of the colour schemes I thought I liked in the photos, yellow with black wheels & black pack, I don't like in the flesh.

The red one at Oakmere thats hanging around looks better in the flesh than in the photos, get the wheels & side screens blacked & it would look better still, but at that price its so close to getting my own factory order with exactly what I want that so Im not convinced.

I think my favourite out there is the Morgan Cars Miami Blue one, but I need to see it & I've got no fuel!


Hi Andy,

I have a 22MY car so it has the new hood. There isn't a gap as you describe at the back of my sidescreens but there certainly is a draft but both my Roadster and Plus 4 had a draft there so nothing new.

A feature of the new "flapless" hood is that it leaves the sidescreen frame exposed. To my eye it looks like the door has been shut over the flap which is just awful. You may accuse me of being a pedant but when I see cars that have been left like that I want to go over and open and shut the doors properly. I specced my own car and had the sidescreen frames painted in body colour to avoid that look. Remember that on 22MY cars the A Pillars are already body colour. If you study all the factory 22MY cars, Plus Fours and Sixes, you will see that they all have the black pack and black hoods to avoid that "closed over the flap" look.

Here's mine.
